When's the last time a Boston/NE sports team won a championship at home?

The last two Sox championships were both won on the road. The Patriot Super Bowls were all on neutral sites (of course). I seem to remember the Celts won the last game against the Rockets in Houston. (This was _far_ too long ago for my fragile memory)

Also, I was wondering when was the last time a city had 3 professional sports teams in the Championship game/series?

The Celtics against the Rockets in 1986.

Not sure if it was the last time but in '86 The Celts, Sox, & Pats all made it to the championship round (we won't speak of how teams not wearing green fared)
Yup

Very cheasy won, but thought it was worth throwing out there.

In 2000 the Mets & Yankees both made it to the World Series and the New Jersey Devils were in the Stanley Cup Finals (is NJ a NY team?, hmmmm...are the Giants and Jets NJ teams?)
Yup

This isn't completely on topic, but in 1980, all four of Philadelphia's teams competed in the championship game for their respective sports.  The Phillies won the World Series, and the Eagles, Flyers, and Sixers all lost (with the Eagles loss technically coming in January of 1981, but following the 1980 series).  I think that's unparalleled.

Roy -
I know it's not a 100% "real" Sport. But the NE Revolution did go to the title game this year...
